American Ironhorse Legend Model

American Ironhorse Legend Model

My favorite American IronHorse is the Texas Chopper.  In second place is this Legend model.  I have owned both, and just like the wider tire (280  up to 2008 when they went to 300) look!

I still remember when I rode my first Legend while still owning my Texas Chopper. I thought the handling on the Legend, (because of the  240 tire versus  the Texas Choppers wider 280)  handled more like a sportbike when compared to the Texas Chopper. Read more »

Big Dog k9 Motorcycle Ride 360 Video

Big Dog k9 motorcycle ride

The motorcycle in this video is a Big Dog K9 motorcycle with an S&S 117 in.³ fuel injected V-Twin engine. This video shows part of my ride from Orange County California to San Diego CA. The video was shot with a Samsung Gear 360 camera. Watch the Big Dog k9 motorcycle ride below:

This Samsung camera is a relatively small 360° camera that can be mounted using standard GoPro mounts.  I’m riding the Big Dog with the camera is mounted on the right side of my helmet.

I’m also using Corel Video Studio X10 to edit the footage and convert it from 360° video into standard video. Read more »

Custom Chopper Motorcycle

Good Looking Custom Chopper Motorcycle

This is a great video for custom chopper motorcycle enthusiast. There is absolutely no narration, just a lot of good-looking custom chopper motorcycles!

Currently, here in the United States,, the chopper motorcycle look as stated in popularity and been replaced by the ‘bagger’ motorcycle. The bagger style motorcycle usually refers to a Harley or other large motorcycle that has saddlebags. Usually, a chopper motorcycle enthusiast wouldn’t be caught dead on one of these baggers! but, I bet the same could be true for a bagger motorcycle enthusiast  attitude toward the chopper motorcycle.

Chopper Motorcycles

 Chopper Motorcycles

Build ’em and ride ’em before the government bans them from America’s roads.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A chopper is a type of motorcycle that is either modified from an original motorcycle design (“chopped”) or built from scratch to have a unique hand-crafted appearance. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall “ape hanger” or very short “drag” handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The “sissy bar”, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers. Read more »

Tribute to Dennis Hopper by the Grateful Dead

Dennis Hopper Easy Rider Tribute

httpv://youtu.be/GD0xgD9f5Fk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dennis Hopper directed and starred in Easy Rider (1969), winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as co-writer. Journalist Ann Hornaday wrote: “With its portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the uptight middle-class hypocrisies, Easy Rider became the cinematic symbol of the 1960s, a celluloid anthem to freedom, macho bravado and anti-establishment rebellion.”Film critic Matthew Hays notes that “no other persona better signifies the lost idealism of the 1960s than that of Dennis Hopper.

Hopper died at his home in the coastal Los Angeles district of Venice on the morning of May 29, 2010 at the age of 74, due to complications from prostate cancer. Read more »
